Whenever I make cookies with a face, I'm having the most difficult time with the eyes. Last time I made a Santa Clause, the eyes fell off the cookies. What's the secret in making eyes or letting it stay on the cookies???

i once ate a near entire bag of those Ghirardelli chips at someone's house--was looking for something sweet and was all I found. Afterwards I felt sick, guilty, dirty, bad. Just thought I'd share.Nice blog.

Haaaaa I love it Bridget! My Elf, Jingles got into my baking stuff and made a cookie of himself last week. My daughter was so excited to see her Elf made her a cookie. Just wish she got as excited when I made her some lol.

I've always thought the actual Elf on the shelf was a little creepy looking, so in our house we have another version "Christopher Popinkins" which is basically the same, but a little less creepy :) These are absolutely adorable though and completely NOT creepy. I think I will be doing these this weekend with the kids...I have a feeling my boys might like to keep a few 'zombie' elves :) Thanks so much for all your inspiring ideas!

I have been admiring these cookies on my iPhone, but was so excited to make my way over to comment on my BIG computer. My daughter is beside me giggling right now. I can't believe those silly little elves are checking us out!You capture the season perfectly with these little guys. Our elf arrived to our home last night. He was on the mantel & now he is sitting on a painting in the kitchen. I wonder where he will go next???He watches all of us...very, very carefully. XXOO

These are adorable! I learned a trick from a Wilton Cake Decorating class that I'm sure will be useful for cookies too.. you take a small piece of wax paper and use clear piping gel and trace the design you want and then invert onto cookie so now you have something to trace with the royal icing.. does make sense? Anyways.. I'm going to try these for 2012 Christmas - thanks for posting! :)
